"Everything's Eventual" by Stephen King. For the fourth or fifth or maybe seventh time... I brought it on my trip, finished it, and haven't had a chance to pick up another book yet. (I'm going to buy the last Harry Potter book tomorrow; I need something to read, and the local "bookstore" (which sells textbooks and that) has it.)

Romance of the Three Kingdoms

It's a Chinese classic.

Finished the five Artemis Fowl books.

I'm just starting the last chapter of a glossy BBC book "Brain Story" by Susan Greenfield (2000). Some interesting bits. A glance at this last chapter ("The Brain of the Future") reveals a picture of Kevin Warwick walking through a door he has just opened with his implant.

I'm reading a few different books right now, but the one I'm most engaged in is Inner Work: Using Dreams & Active Imagination for Personal Growth by Robert A. Johnson. I haven't gotten to the section that details active imagination yet but I have a sense that inside a lucid dream will be a good place to attempt it. Hopefully Laberge's Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming will help me with LD induction.

I'm currently The Great Shark Hunt by Hunter S Thompson. I got 5 other of his books that I got to read yet.

Had to take a break from those though because I have to do two reports on books this summer. I picked The Old Man And The Sea and Of Mice And Men from the list they gave me because they were short.

I've read quite a few books in the last year though. World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby, As Bad As I Want To Be by Dennis Rodman, and Finders Keepers by Mark Bowden.

I think you should do a third report on the works of Thompson, just to show your teacher what a "gifted" student you are.

Othello-shakespeare
great expectations-dickens

That is for English 110.

On my own time, I am reading Off Season by Jack Ketchum (it's about a family of cannibals going on a rampage), and "the thief of always" by clive barker.

Out of books I just finished reading for the first time within the past week, I've read Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett, Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris, and a few Sin City graphic novels, as well as 300, by Frank Miller. I've also been re-reading Dune Messiah and Children of Dune by Frank Herbert. Books I want to read soon include:

The last three Dark Tower books by Stephen king (Wolves of the Calla, Song of Susannah, and The Dark Tower)

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert

Doctor Who: The New Adventures: Human Nature by Paul Cornell

Doctor Who: The New Adventures: Lungbarrow by Marc Platt (re-read)

Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien (I have to commit myself to a full re-read, not just give up near the end of Fellowship...)
